At Joe Coffee at 405 W. 23rd St. in Manhattan on Saturday, a 12-ounce cup of drip coffee was $2.30, plus tax. I prefer the smoothness of the Dunkin' Donuts Dark Roast. |

I had some time to kill today while the Firestone store in Hackensack checked out a slow-leaking tire on my Toyota Prius, so I walked across the street to try the new Dark Roast at Dunkin' Donuts.
I'm a loyal fan of Starbucks, but have to admit this is a nice cup of coffee, especially for the special price of 99 cents for a 14-ounce cup.
For a snack, I wrapped seaweed, smoked wild salmon and homemade canned fish salad in a slice of reduced-fat Swiss cheese. Most of the ingredients came from Costco. |

I took a break from eggs this morning and had the organic quinoa-brown rice dish with a curry sauce I prepared for a tofu recipe last week, and leftover sauteed cabbage and sweet peppers. |
Don't tell me you didn't ask for the senior discount (10 percent) on your 99 cent Dark Roast coffee. What do you think, they poured it from the Fountain of Youth?
ReplyDeleteThe senior discount applies only to the small coffee, I think. I got a medium coffee for 99 cents.
DeleteThe 99 cents is a promotion through the end of October, by the time you've had a few cups it'll be the same as the regular grind, what, about $1.79 for a medium? At my Dunkin Donuts up here in Connecticut they give me the senior discount on anything I order. The other day I asked the counter person what time it was and they took five minutes off.
